Lucid Lobby Welcome Wagon

:welcome: hello again Aelfrede, you asked the same thing when you joined Sealife quite a few months ago :grin: I live quite near Wigan and Ormskirk.
/me looks around to make sure no stalkers are about :scared:
I hope you enjoy being a member of LD4all :grin:

:wave: Welcome to LD4all jermo

The main reason for the non flaming is even when we disagree in one topic we will be talking like friends in a different one :happy:

:wallhit: that must be so annoying. Well the more LDs you experience, the more your confidence in your abilities will grow :grin:
:thumbs: good luck tonight…
/me sends some lucid energy to jermo :grin: :dream: :fly:

Hello ! :smile:

Here’s a bit about me :
I live in Paris, France, and I am a physics student. In my free time I learn foreign languages, I cook, play guitar, and read a lot of stuff on the internet.

I first learned about LD by reading the Wikibook in summer 2004, but at first I was too scared to try. About a year later, I read the book again, and succeeded at my first attempt with the WBTB technique. It was kind of strange, you can read my first post in the “First steps” section of the forum.

I hope to have enjoyable discussions with you all about that fascinating topic and have the opportunity to explore hidden corners of my brain : )

Hi i just joined last night after reading about lucid dreaming for a few days now. I was just wondering if there were any helpful tips on how to realize that you are dreaming. Last night i had a dream that i got in a fight with this kid on my football team, but i remember when i was trying to hit him i felt as if i was punching under water. I thought it was kinda wierd but i didnt really think anything of it at the time. shouldnt that be a cue?

Hi Neese :content:.

Helpful tips for realiing your’re dreaming… yeup, we have a couple :wink:.

  1. Take RC’s throughout the day
  2. Keep a DJ
  3. Use techniques (such as MILD and WBTB).

Info about all of those can be found on the main site if you look around :smile:.

That indeed would have been a cue that something was up - but weird things happen in our dreams all the time and we never question it.

Part of the idea of LD’ing is to realise that things are weird, and such we must be dreaming :smile:.

Hello everyone, My name is Contage and i am from Illinois. I have actually known about LD’s for about 3 years now, a freind introuduced it to me. I just never really had time to try it out. I have been navigating through the forums lately, and i decided to join. Hopefully the LD’s will come. Oh btw, props to PasQual(sp) on this website. It truly is great. Later Folks…

Hi mmestre -As you study physics you might be interested in Astronomy (one of my favourite topics :happy: )? Anyway welcome to the messageboard.
There’s a lot of interesting things to read here - dreams, philosophy, science, games etc.

Welcome to the board Neese26 and Contage - glad you decided to join

Hey, I just joined after a friend of mine, Neese26, showed me this site. I’ve been reading up on this all day. I had a dream last night where I was driving a motorcycle I would love to buy, GSX-1300 “Hayabusa”, but my parents would never let me get it. I guess that should of been a clue that I was dreaming. I’m going to start writing a dream log every morning and have RC’s during the day. Hopefully I’ll get the hang of LDing!

Welcome! :wave:

Everybody’s pretty nice here and will give you the info you need. You can start your DJ in the Dream Diary section if you’d like. :smile:

Happy LD’s! :fly:

Welcome Jupiter

There is a big sleep paralysis and old hag topic here
I hope that will help you :smile:
And the people here are very friendly and they will always help you :content:

58

:wave: Hello jupiter
welcome to the forum. From what I have read, it appears the SP old hag experience is directly linked to what you expect and your level of fear. If you can stay calm and realise it isn’t real, it will get better. But this is easier said than done :sad:
When reading about the Lucid Crossroads, I came across a passage that said you could use “the visitor” as your guide to the Lucid Crossroads by just expecting them to be your guide and they will take you there. I think it was on the Lucid Crossroads site.
Anyway I hope you find your help/answers in the topic that Black Angel gave you.

59
